Optimizations
The timeline was rather slow so I optimized it a bit. I hope I didn’t break anything.
Suggest events
I added a form where you can suggest events that are missing from the site.
CompoHub is open!
CompoHub is finally open! It doesn’t have all the features I’ve talked about but it’s good enough now.
Bought a domain
I’m back working on this project again! I bought a domain where I’ll open the site probably in a month or two. In addition to the current content, there’ll be deadlines for big competitions, like IGF, and possibly something else too.
Release!
I fixed the feed, tweaked some other things and released an early version of the site.
Admin panel
The admin panel is starting to be usable now so the first small release is not so far away anymore. Maybe a few days. I just need to write some text, fix the atom feed and maybe creating pages individual events. And bug fixing. There’s always bug fixing.
Timeline problems
I recently found out that there’s no way to get the user’s timezone in PHP and that caused some problems for me. Some of the event times are accurate but others are not, which means that client’s time offset should be added only to the accurate times. That could make some events overlap on the timeline, which is not good at all. The problem was solved by rewriting event arranging in JavaScript.
Redesign
I decided to redesign the website from scratch again because there was a major problem with the old style. It had way too much room for content that I don’t have. The main point of the site is the timeline so I moved it to the top, which made it also more scalable. Here’s a picture of the old design:
And here’s the new one. It is not quite finished yet and there’s some debug information but you should get the idea anyway.
